The reason why your New Year’s resolutions don’t stick

30 Dec

2012 has been getting hype for what…nearly six years now? Whether you’re into that whole “Mayan End of Days” thing or of the conviction that 2012 will usher in some huge awakening for mankind…it’s safe to say we’re all putting a lot of pressure on this upcoming year.

Maybe it’s the freshness, the newness, the unlimited possibility of new beginnings and a clean slate to build upon — but somewhere around late February, the year’s new shine starts to fade, old habits resurface and thoughts of well there is always next year trickle in. Pressure and expectations of greatness typically lead to one thing – a major letdown.

It doesn’t have to be that way, you know… Continue reading →

5 Phases of a Quarter Life Crisis — Are you in one RIGHT now?

29 Nov

I’m on a mission to turn the term “Quarter Life Crisis” (QLC) into “Quarter Life Opportunity” because that’s exactly what it is — a turning point in your life where YOU’RE totally responsible for your self and the direction your life will take.

Think of your QLC as an “update” button - keep pressing X and everything stays the same…press UPDATE  and…. Continue reading →

Pass the gravy and the thanks around

22 Nov

It’s around this time of year we all pause for a sec and ask “Has it REALLY been a year…already?!” And my guess is that as you grow older, the stark realization becomes even more intense that time isn’t going to slow down.

All this makes it even more important to reflect back on where you’ve come so far this year — and more importantly, recognize and appreciate who helped you along the way.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone — and as awesome as turkey and mashed potatoes are, tell your fam & friends [and coaching supporters!] just how much they mean to you :)

Feeling left out? FOMO is to blame.

1 Nov

There’s a disease on the rise among 20something’s. It’s subtle at first with symptoms of minor jealousy, resentfulness, restlessness and frequent refreshing of an already updated Facebook feed. As it gains strength it turns once vibrant and confident optimists about the future into self-doubting, paranoid and unhappy worriers who feel left out of the crowd.

Diagnosis: F.O.M.O. The Fear of Missing Out. Continue reading →

Share your 20s in six words or less

18 Oct

If you’re currently a 20-something, or just a little beyond, let’s play a game: sum up the experience of your 20s in six words or less. 

Here’s mine:  Found my path, now walking it

A link to a slide show from New York Magazine’s article “The Kids Are Actually Sort of Alright” does a blunt job of presenting the varied experiences of the typical American 20-something, entering what’s now being called the “Post-Hope America” era.

[Musings] Nothing is linear

6 Oct

I saw this diagram the other day and it resonated deeply with me. How many times have we felt like we’re moving right along, only to double-back, fall off track, scratch our heads, want to give up, and look around with utter confusion thinking “where the hell am I?”  It’s only after time  and with with some perspective that we appreciate all the “off roads” we took to get to where we eventually land.

Assumption junction, what’s your function? Wasting your time — that’s what.

20 Sep


Growing up, whenever I’d turn my nose to something in haste, my dad would colorfully recite “Assuming makes and ass out of YOU and ME.”

How often do you compare someone or something against a past experience? How many times have you been proven wrong in what your original assumption was? Our judgments have a tendency to blind our openness to new experiences. Typically, a judgment occurs when we’re trying to protect a part of ourselves from the memory of something we didn’t enjoy. New people, places, experiences, emotions – they are ridiculed by our judgments and assumptions before we even get a chance to experience what they have to offer. Continue reading →
